Linear contrasts in experimental design with non-identical error distributions

Estimation of linear contrasts in experimental design, and testing their assumed values, is considered when the error distributions from block to block are not necessarily identical. The normal-theory solutions are shown to have low efficiencies as compared to the solutions presented here.

Regression analysis with a dtochastic design variable
Sazak, HS; Tiku, ML; İslam, Muhammed Qamarul (Wiley, 2006-04-01)
In regression models, the design variable has primarily been treated as a nonstochastic variable. In numerous situations, however, the design variable is stochastic. The estimation and hypothesis testing problems in such situations are considered. Real life examples are given.
Multiple linear regression model with stochastic design variables
İslam, Muhammed Qamarul (Informa UK Limited, 2010-01-01)
In a simple multiple linear regression model, the design variables have traditionally been assumed to be non-stochastic. In numerous real-life situations, however, they are stochastic and non-normal. Estimators of parameters applicable to such situations are developed. It is shown that these estimators are efficient and robust. A real-life example is given.
Autoregressive models with short-tailed symmetric distributions
Akkaya, Ayşen (Informa UK Limited, 2008-01-01)
Symmetric short-tailed distributions do indeed occur in practice but have not received much attention particularly in the context of autoregression. We consider a family of such distributions and derive the modified maximum likelihood estimators of the parameters. We show that the estimators are efficient and robust. We develop hypothesis-testing procedures.
Estimation and hypothesis testing in multivariate linear regression models under non normality
İslam, Muhammed Qamarul (Informa UK Limited, 2017-01-01)
This paper discusses the problem of statistical inference in multivariate linear regression models when the errors involved are non normally distributed. We consider multivariate t-distribution, a fat-tailed distribution, for the errors as alternative to normal distribution. Such non normality is commonly observed in working with many data sets, e.g., financial data that are usually having excess kurtosis. This distribution has a number of applications in many other areas of research as well. We use modifie...
Robust estimation and hypothesis testing under short-tailedness and inliers
Akkaya, Ayşen (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2005-06-01)
Estimation and hypothesis testing based on normal samples censored in the middle are developed and shown to be remarkably efficient and robust to symmetric short-tailed distributions and to inliers in a sample. This negates the perception that sample mean and variance are the best robust estimators in such situations (Tiku, 1980; Dunnett, 1982).
